J2Ee Developer's Handbook

by Paul J. Perrone (Author), Krishna Chaganti (Author), Tom Schwenk (Author)
3.7 out of 5 stars 19 ratings

Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) is an application development platform for building robust enterprise systems. J2EE includes numerous Java APIs and tools including Enterprise JavaBeans, JavaServer Pages, and Servlets. Developers looking to leverage this complex platform need guidance not only on the features of each tool, but on using them together to create real-world systems.

J2EE Developer's Handbook provides both -- discussing the tools in the context of practical J2EE applications which demonstrate every aspect of J2EE development. In the Spring of 2003, Sun will relase J2EE 1.4 which includes numerous updates and new features such as JSP 2.0, EJB 2.1, and new APIs for creating J2EE Web Services and using the J2EE Connector Architecture.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome- J2EE, CORBA, Web Services- it is all in here
    Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2006
    Verified Purchase
    The book is excellent for J2EE fundamentals and hands-on learning. It goes beyond just the basics and gives details about every thing you need to know about the J2EE specifications.

    --2011--
    Wow, it has been 4 years since I bought this book. Cannot say I have read it from cover to cover but I still go back to it to understand how J2EE works under the hood (almost).

    Excellent buy. Please read the web service security chapter thoroughly. JNDI is also discussed well here. Although it is time to learn Spring Framework now but never hurts to understand what it is based on. It is one of the few books that discussed both CORBA and RMI- fantastic really! The CD-ROM has additional content that is worth almost the same as the book.

    Good job Mr. Perrone and team.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Best J2EE book around, great for new or experienced coders
    Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2003
    First off, at the time I bought it, this was the only book on J2EE 1.4 published. I don't know if that's still the case, and it doesn't matter to me, because this is without a doubt the only book I would need.
    I was kind of skeptical about it, because it promised to cover so many topics, but I was told where I bought it that I could return it within 60 days if I wasn't satisfied. So I figured it was worth a shot.
    It covers everything about J2EE, and unlike the vast majority of other books, isn't a simple regurgitation of the numerous APIs. The best part is that it starts off with the core information you need, and then builds upon it. If you know a previous version of J2EE, you can easily skip to any chapter you want and learn what you need, because the core is the same, but if you're new to J2EE, you can just read it right through. Most books will discuss a topic, make a reference to another one, and give a brief explanation of the referenced topic. This makes readers, me at least, feeling a little lost, wondering exactly what's going on. Then that topic is covered 20 chapters later. This book, however, starts with the fundamentals and builds upon it. There's never a "which will be covered later" in the book.
    I was afraid that the book would only skim over some topics, because it does cover the entire J2EE. However, due to the sheer size of the book (1350 content pages and another 300 pages on CD) it covers everything in detail. The only exception I think is EJBs, however anyone programming EJBs ought to pick up the O'Reilly Enterprise JavaBeans book anyway. This book covers it in enough detail that you can write and use EJBs, and gives a very thorough discussion of the lifecycle, process, and purpose, but is somewhat lacking on the configuration and advanced features of EJBs. However, like I said, it's such an extensive topic that any J2EE programmer should have the O'Reilly book in his library anyway.
    The only downside to this book is that there isn't much information that an experienced Java programmer wouldn't know. This is because the enhancements to J2EE, while numerous, are not in fact new. The inclusion of web services is new to J2EE 1.4, and so is not covered in older books, but it's been so common in use that many programmers already know quite a bit about web services. Still, it gives very good information on proper usage and the interactions between web services and the other components of J2EE.
    Coming away from reading this book, you're left not only with the ability to use the features of J2EE, but a solid understanding of how the components interact, what the purpose of various features are, and an incredibly thorough understanding of the workings of J2EE, something which most other books lack. The companion CD does not have any J2EE specific content, containing tools and information that further enhances your understanding of webapps (TCP/IP, HTTP, etc). I'd say this book is essential for any programmer learning J2EE 1.4, whether just new to J2EE or coming from a previous version. You're left with the ability to effectively use it, along with a thorough understanding of what's actually happening. Definitely the most used book on my shelf now.

    Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2006
    It worth as an overview of J2EE. But people who want to first step the product should try other stuff. The book is poor about examples and verbosy about business.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Expected something different
    Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2004
    I bought this book based on the excellent reviews it had. I expected to learn J2EE (more specifically EJB, as I know most of the other related technologies). This book failed to really teach me much. When learning something, I am more concerned with the how and why, than with the the presentation of many API's, and then having to proceed from there making decisions regarding application contstruction in my development. Although it might sound like I was actually looking for a book on J2EE (or EJB) design, this is not the case. I simply want to understand the technologies that I am working with, and the motivations for using them in specific scenarios. As a reference material, I would probably give the book 4 to 5 stars. It is a book I can keep as an excellent reference of just about any J2EE related API, but I will have to buy another book in order to get a better understanding of the technologies I wanted to learn, like EJB. From the reviews it sounded like the authors actually succeeded in covering in-depth such a wide range of topics in one text. In my opinion, I think that it is maybe still just too much to cover for one book (if you really want to explain the how's and why's of everything).

    3.0 out of 5 stars This book is good buy but I want more from it....
    Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2004
    I have learned a lot about JNDI through this book. But the problem I see is that there was no coverage about JNDI and Microsoft Active Directory. In fact I was able to learn about JNDI through this book but then had to surf the web on how to use JNDI with Active Directory. Had the authors included a large section on Active Directory with JNDI I would have given this book 5 stars.
    The CD that comes with the book is wonderful. Even though you can download all the material on the CD it was nice having MySQL, Ant, Apache Tomcat and other material on the CD. For now this is probebly the best book on J2EE 1.4 but I learn from examples and this book could have included a lot more examples. Again, if the book had more examples I would have given the book 5 stars.

    This book covers a large number of j2ee apis in a coherent manner. It is a good reference book for every day use.
    Some parts of the book out dated with respected to technologies progress from it's publishing. The real life examples with oracle, weblogic, j2ee RI server is great help.
